  • THERE ARE CHANGES TO YOUR CLASS TIMES DURING THIS WEEK - PLEASE CHECK THESE CAREFULLY.

  • Students are also required to attend class concert ready

 

IMPORTANT - Please note: Group photos of each class will be taken. These will be available for purchase by all members of the class. Once photos are purchased, our studio does not control how these are shared.  If you would like your child not to be included in group photos, please let us know in writing ASAP, PRIOR to photo day.

 

What will happen during photo week?

  • Students will try on costumes ready for concert. Any alterations will be pinned so these can be sewn prior to the big day.  All alterations are sewn by our studio staff.

  • Students will then have a group photo and individual photo in each costume. These will be available for purchase in the coming weeks for those who would like them.

  • Where there is time, classes will then run routines in their costumes.

We do our very best to ensure our photo weeks run to time, however sometimes sessions can run slightly over.

 

Photos will again be taken by Heather Rose. Heather has worked with children for well over 20 years and has a working with children check. She has also won a large number of photography awards and we are excited to have her at our studio again.

 

How to arrive?

Please ensure your child has the required items for photo week (See Below - tan leotard or black singlet, tights, correct shoes etc), hair and make up (if wearing make up) as described in the make up and hair section on this page.

If shoes or tights require cleaning, please do this prior to the day :).

Miss Jenny, Miss Michelle and our staff will be on site to assist students.  Parents will be asked to please wait outside to ensure we don’t ruin the surprise for the big day!

MAKE UP

 

Make up has always been, and remains optional at our school​.

As stage lights are very strong they tend to wash out Performer’s faces. We recommend that Performers wear basic make up, but it is not compulsory if you or your child does not feel comfortable in make up.

​

GIRLS - Basic stage make up traditionally consists of: 

        *  Foundation

        *  Blush

        *  Brown/Light Brown Eyeshadow

        *  Eyeliner

        *  Mascara

        *  Lipstick (Red)

 

BOYS - Often boys prefer not to wear stage make up until they are a little older, and it is again, not compulsory.  This is for individual families to decide.  Boys may wear the same as the girls if they choose, or basic stage make up for boys often consists of: 

        *  Foundation

        *  Blush 

​
